https://llcsgatornation.com/2126/arts-and-entertainment/pure-flix/#respondSun, 13 May 2018 23:38:52 +0000http://llcsgatornation.com/?p=2126Have you ever wanted to make sure everything that comes up as a choice to watch on television is appropriate for those kids you are babysitting? Well, I have recently discovered Pure Flix, which solves that problem!

It is a program similar to Netflix, but all the shows and movies are family friendly. This helps to keep the choices safe and ensures there is nothing you have to explain to parents. Pureflix has a variety of programs from movies to series. Many of the shows that are on this provider have been hits on television.

Like Netflix, you can watch Pure Flix on your phone, tablet, computer, or TV; all you need is an internet connection. In addition, the cost is very reasonable. You can choose to pay monthly for $10 or pay for an entire year for only $100 (save $20!). Also, you can connect up to five devices on the same account and all can be watching different shows at the same time.

This is much less expensive than cable and much more family-friendly in the material that is being offered. Take a chance and sign up for their one month free to see if you would enjoy the shows they have to offer.

Ben Simmons

The rookie guard for the Utah Jazz, Donovan Mitchell has definitely shown his dominance in the league. He has carried his team to the playoffs with his outstanding scoring ability averaging more than 20 points per game. However, as impressive as that is it’s not enough to surpass the rookie Ben Simmons who has shown that he is a better overall player. Simmons in his first year playing he has averaged 15.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and, 8.1 assist per game. Simmons has had 5 triple-doubles this year which, is more made by a rookie since the 1983-84 season. Donovan Mitchell has not had a triple-double or double-double this season.

Based on the NBA’s tracking data Simmons averages 16.1 potential assist per game which is the 5th most this season throughout the league. Lebron James is the only player who averages more than Simmons (17.7) in their positions, excluding point guards. For comparison Donovan Mitchell only averages 6.6.

It’s going to be a tough choice between the two. If you want a rookie that scores a bunch, Donovan Mitchell is your rookie of the year. If you want a better all around player to win Ben Simmons is the one to beat.

“He is the stone cold Rookie of the year.” Said Brett Brown, coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, on Ben Simmons.

There are a couple things that keep Mitchell ahead of Simmons. A lot of people disagree with Simmons winning the Rookie of the year because he isn’t a real “rookie”. He came into the league in the 2016 draft pick. The only reason he is considered a rookie is because he got injured during the NBA Summer League. This injury didn’t allow him to play a single game during the 16-17 season.

With his scoring ability the young rookie donovan mitchell has also stepped up to take leadership of his team. When the Utah Jazz lost key player Gordon Hayward they needed a leader. Mitchells performance on and off the court have proven that he has what it takes to lead his team.

“I think he should be rookie of the year, for sure,” All Star Damian Lillard said of Donovan Mitchell. “Not just because of his numbers, but his impact on their team. He’s basically leading them. It’s special to see a rookie be able to do what he’s doing out there.”

Simmons might be the better overall player but, Mitchell has had a huge impact on his team. He also won the Verizon Slam dunk contest his rookie year. He has shown his incredible ability to score and will continue to improve. Donovan Mitchell deserves Rookie of the year.

https://llcsgatornation.com/2108/showcase/fast-foods-and-what-they-do/#respondThu, 10 May 2018 17:31:02 +0000http://llcsgatornation.com/?p=2108Fast food: America’s most popular kind of food. All from McDonald’s to a restaurant. Convenient and cheap, with a super great taste, but it’s also super bad for your health.

According to the Center for Disease and Disease Control and Prevention, 36% of adults and 17% of American youth (under 19) are obese. What causes this? Most of the fast foods have high levels of sugar and fats which are directly associated with increasing weight. You can always find a McDonald’s or Sonic near your home and can also get food easily delivered to your house. This makes it a convenient option than making food at home using much healthier ingredients.

Also, eating fast foods can result in your memory and cognitive function to fail. Greasy bacon burgers and yummy large milkshakes. That sounded delicious, didn’t it? It might but it can be high in saturated fats. “It’s been long established that saturated fats can negatively impact the heart, but there’s also research that suggests high saturated fat intake may negatively impact brain function and memory,” says Marisa Moore, MBA, RDN, LD.

There are healthier options when it comes to fast foods, though it isn’t a perfect solution. When you go out, don’t put extra salt on your fries, when ordering a pizza: add veggies instead of meat or get thin crust instead of deep dish, and if you order a salad: don’t overdo the dressing. When it comes to going to a Mexican restaurant: choose a burrito without rice, and with plenty of vegetables and with lean protein (beans or chicken) or choose tacos with lean protein (fish, chicken, or beans) and plenty of vegetables. For a topping pick just one of the following: cheese, sour cream, or guacamole. Or if you go to a hamburger restaurant: choose a grilled chicken sandwich (ask for no mayonnaise) with a side salad and lite dressing or apple slices. When choosing a salad, put plenty of veggies in it, with lean meat, and a small amount of dressing (on it or on the side). When going to a fast food place or a restaurant think of healthy options such as these or just cook a healthy meal at home.

Even though they work as a quick snack, fast foods aren’t a healthy or a permanent solution. Try to keep your fast food intake to a minimum.

https://llcsgatornation.com/2061/healthy-living/therapy-isnt-so-bad/#respondWed, 09 May 2018 16:48:35 +0000http://llcsgatornation.com/?p=2061Often times, people have to go to therapy for many reasons. Whether you have relationship issues, challenges with change, eating disorders or body image issues, need motivation, or even academic issues, therapy is helpful.

During therapy, they ask questions and evaluate what you need and your progress. If you need medicine, than they will send you to get it. They help you solve your problems and help you deal with difficult or stressful situations.

Alot of people make therapy out to be stupid, useless, and scary. People think that you only go to therapy for just depression and anxiety, so there is a stigma that therapy means there is something wrong with you, though it just means that you need a bit of help with your mental health.

In conclusion, therapy really isnt that bad. Not everyone with mental issues needs it either. Sometimes some people just need someone to vent to or some extra help. Therapy isn’t that scary either. Therapy is just a way of venting and getting things off of your chest.
